not bad for a mini trailer for something rather miniscule i guess 

[Spider-Vice]

They seem to be fond of those mini trailers for some of the new vehicles (e.g. during Crim Enterprises) and stuff like this, I find it neat.

 

Also, the Hard Mode Event lasts til Feb 8, could it be when we're getting the Last Dose?

[caihong]

Ironically enough, the sample location of the gun van showed in the video will never be chosen by the RNG.

[DrEeveell]

Wow, this is completely underwhelming.

 

Although when I was logged in to make my daily spin, I noticed that Bunkers & Upgrades are on sale. Which I didn't see mentioned in the Newswire.

It's just a cinematic teaser, don't look that much into it.

I'm thinking they want to keep us in events to make the dripfeed feel less like dripfeed for people who don't pay attention to these things. My guess is Hard Mode event then Valentines event then (maybe) Last Dose event. But probably something like Taxi event or Garage event before Last Dose.

[Spider-Vice]

Taxi event might be next week if an earlier post is anything to go by. Tez mentioned that R* has done some fixes to Taxi work in a background script update yesterday, and the GTA+ bonus period ends next week as well - this considering the fact that GTA+ might be getting a (free?) fast travel feature with the Taxi.

[GTA Hurricane]

Community series on 2x bonus and that's it??? Big L week.

Please tell me the Gun Van isn't like Madame Douchebag in RDO where we have to actively seek it out

The van has an icon if you have Ammunition stores showing on your map.

I like the concept of the gun van, a roving black market that can sell rare weapons. I've always like this kind of thing in looter-shooter games. I'm assuming they'll use this in GTA6 for the more dangerous weapons as well. I'd rather they kept the van in the same spot for a week and noted that location in the newswire, but at least it'll be easy to find for the people who are aware of the sites that list the locations.

[Leftover Pizza]

Rail gun is somewhat fun. Would be better if it didn't need a reload per shot. No new vehicle is actually no problem to me anymore. I'll be needing that 50 spot garage to store new vehicles anyway. And I'm enjoying my current fleet of vehicles just as much. 

[Standard Deluxe 59]

What a lousy week. 

[Rammer2k]

Did all 6 missions on Hard.  They basically buffed everyone up to Act 3 Doomsday difficulty, including many annoying "mini gun" bugs.  Thankfully the trusty Kuruma can still be used, except for the 1st mission.  Not even worth the 27K.

[nb2010]

Is railgun the only "new" weapon from the gun van?

 

If you own all the weapons already what is the lure of this?

[Spectre "2K"]

glad they finally released the speed demon livery, just gotta find the fastest mission to beat in the set. Gun van feels kinda redundant as a level 1100, but i'm sure the discounts and presumably available before level locked weapons like the RPG would help new players who happen to bump into it

[MikeyDLuffy]

First dose 4 seems ideal for the no deaths and time trial requirements.

[PapaVoly]

Does the gun van have exclusive liveries for GTA+ players? Looks like it's worded that way in the newswire

That's how I'm understanding it too but the GTA+ website doesn't seem to be updated to say which liveries are exclusive ones. That might come with next week's GTA+ update I guess?

[EkaSwede]

This Railgun looks slightly different? I remember it glowing blue when loaded.

[Bella Odessa]

... I'm just glad the snow is finally gone. 

New railgun is the cherry on top. 

[Hazzardtohimself]

Slogged through NPCs turned up to eleven in the 'hard' difficulty of First Dose. 
Logged out. 

 

Roll on next week?

Thank god

I'd hate to look it up whenever something new got added to it

[EkaSwede]

Also it seems they fixed the "Crashing Smuggler Plane" event giving 25K RP. It now gives normal amount of RP.

[theEwing1979]

No new vehicle this week? For f*ck sake.

For the first mission, have the Kuruma as your PV before starting. When the mission starts jump off the roof and request your PV, it will be placed on the other side of the motel. I don't know if it always delivers your PV so far away but it did both times I played it today. There's a Lost van by the store front you can take to retrieve your Kuruma. It's outside of the mission area so you've only got 30 seconds I think to get it, but it's enough time.

[Jammsbro]

I have every icon turne on now and still can't find the van. Is it out for everyone?
